Belka, a former finance minister who resigned following disagreements with Miller last year, became the head of the International Coordination Council for the Reconstruction of Iraq. He is known for his wide experience, integrity and credibility among investors. The Federal Parliamentary Club declared they would support his candidacy, while some Labor Union and SLD deputies are not too happy with the idea. The Polish Peasants party and other opposition parties declared they would not support his candidacy and are demanding an early general election. Belka will be back in Poland tomorrow and he promised to reveal his plans co ncerning the possible shape of the future government. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A6) J.J.
